I would like to take the time to tell Ray Edwards to retire from football and go live in the mountains somewhere. You suck, your penalties hurt us, and in 3 years you don't even have half the sacks it would take to break the single season record. Please die, that is all.

Signed,
Your number one fan!

really? two offsides penalties cause he was trying to get a jump on the ball? although yes...the sack record thing is a little dumb.

Im going on record by saying that this Lions game this weekend scares me to death.

QFT. Us coming off a big primetime win against a team coming off being defeated handedly at home to a national audience with nothing to lose, in Daunte's first game against Minnesota since he left. I too, am very very very worried.

Daunte played against MN last year when he was with Oakland, and we handed it to them fairly well

The four-game suspensions for Vikings defensive tackles Pat and Kevin Williams have been upheld.

The NFL will make the announcement at 4:30 p.m.

The two Pro Bowl players would miss the final four games of the Vikings’ regular season. Last weekend, Fox Sports reported the players were prepared to file a lawsuit to get an injunction to keep playing.

There has been no official word from the Vikings yet. We’ll keep you updated as we learn the details.

The situation involving Vikings defensive tackles Pat and Kevin Williams, along with the four other players suspended today by the NFL for violating the league’s steroid policy, isn’t over. According to a people with knowledge of the situation, all six will apply for an injunction in U.S. District Court on Wednesday. This action has been expected since news first broke that a group of players faced four-game bans for using a diuretic that can serve as a masking agent for steroids.

This process could move quickly. The Williamses’ request for a preliminary injunction could go before a judge as early as Wednesday afternoon, and a decision could be made in the same day, according to Rick Ross, an employment and labor attorney for Fredrickson and Byron of Minneapolis.

But Ross went on to say that it’s “generally an uphill battle” for employees to gain a preliminary injunction in the federal courts. The primary standard, he said, is that employees have to show irreparable harm, which is difficult.

Other players suspended today included New Orleans’ Charles Grant, Deuce McAllister and Will Smith and Houston’s Bryan Pittman.

Agent Angelo Wright, who represents Vikings defensive tackle Pat Williams, said on Tuesday that a federal lawsuit will be filed on Wednesday, aimed at preventing the NFL from imposing a four-game suspension.

“I believe that we’ll be able to offset this,” Wright said, according to Sean Jensen of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. ” I continue to maintain that he will play football.

“Though the tenets of the program are of strict liability, the league is supposed to act in conjunction with the players association, to communicate what products are acceptable and which are not,” Wright said. “In this case, they’ve acknowledged that they withheld information from the players.

“I would feel more comfortable with the process, if there was an independent body governing over these cases,” Wright added. “But this current set up is reminiscent of the British court, when they wore white wigs and proved to be your judge and your jury.”

Pretty Interesting...I would guess, if they win the ruling they wouldnt be suspended? and if they lose the ruling they would be still suspended..really dont know.

i hate to be the ass hole here. but i really dont think that the we are going to be in the playoffs this year.

in light of that. another average season. another mid first round draft pick. We have four games left and three of them are going to be tough. especially without the williams brothers.

turner and jacobs both scare me, and now we dont have our dominent force to knock them down.

i had high hopes coming into this year. they were down early then they were lifted up. now they are down again. lovely...

Welcome to being a Vikings fan :) Its a tough road to be on. I think we are all thinking that we wont make the playoffs now but hey we have 1 game lead still so we just need to believing in the team. It could be worse that's all. If we do miss the playoffs by a game it just shows how much we can do when without a good stable QB. But since we finally are leading the division for the first time i think under Childress i really doubt he gets fired.

When the Vikings have a problem we seem to pull it together even more. Remeber the Love boat incident? We sucked before that, then we pulled it together and had a halfway decent season.

Although I am not doubting that we will suck the last four games of the season. A lot of other times when this stuff happens, we piss down our legs and walk off the field with our tails between our legs.

I guess that is the life a Viking fan, according to Dynasty. I agree by the way.

If we don't make the playoffs then here is my offseason plan:

-Pick up Donavan McNabb
-Pick up TJ Housmanzada
-Fire Childress
-Draft a RT in April
-Find a future star to replace fat Pat for when he retires
-And please...get a new gosh darn stadium.

I don't see the problem with the Metrodome for football. Once the Twins leave they can renovate it as they please. The Wilf's can buy it for pennies on the dollar once the lease runs out in 2011 and then it will be all profit. Take a year and play at the Gopher stadium and put in a bunch more luxury boxes and re-do the bathrooms.

Most fans don't even want an outdoor stadium anyways. I know I sure as hell woulda been freezing my nips off if Sunday's game were not under the roof.
